At Portside Dental, we frequently assist patients seeking to update previous dental work that may have discoloured, chipped, or lost its aesthetic appeal over time. In this case, the patient presented with existing veneers that no longer matched their desired aesthetic and natural teeth that had yellowed.
To address this, we adopted a staged approach to ensure a cohesive final result. The treatment plan began with in-chair teeth whitening to lift the shade of the natural dentition, establishing a brighter baseline. Following this, we carefully removed the old veneers. The final stage involved designing and placing 8 new porcelain veneers on the upper arch. This combination allowed us to match the new restorations to the patient's freshly whitened natural teeth, resulting in improved symmetry, shade uniformity and a refreshed overall appearance.
Key Treatment Benefits
-
Enhanced Shade Integration: Whitening natural teeth prior to veneer placement allows for a brighter overall smile where the restorations blend seamlessly with the natural dentition.
-
Restoration of Integrity: Replacing aged or compromised veneers helps ensure the underlying tooth structure is protected and free from potential leakage or decay associated with old margins.
-
Improved Symmetry: Placing 8 units allows us to control the shape, length and width of the visible smile line, resulting in a balanced, proportionate outcome.
